The Big Times Table Challenge 3 Objectives

The Big Times Table Challenge 3 is a comprehensive test aimed at Year 4 students to assess their proficiency in multiplication and division within the times tables up to 12. The challenge consists of a series of 100 problems that students are encouraged to complete within a 5-minute time frame, although the actual time taken is recorded if it is less than 5 minutes. This exercise, created by KS2Gems in 2020, includes a balanced mix of multiplication and division questions that cover a range of combinations to ensure a thorough evaluation of the student's recall and computational skills.

The worksheet is structured to allow students to demonstrate their ability to quickly and accurately perform basic arithmetic operations. It includes a variety of questions, such as "3 x 8 =", "99 ÷ 9 =", and "7 x 7 =", among others. These questions are designed to test different aspects of the times tables, from straightforward multiplication to more challenging division problems. Upon completion, students or teachers can tally the correct answers to give a score out of 100, providing a clear indication of the student's times table knowledge and speed. This challenge serves as both a learning tool and a metric for tracking progress in numerical fluency.
